I guess many of you have been to Greece, but for us it is a very special place.

With my husband we spent our very first anniversary as a couple there (long time ago), then we lived in Greece for almost an year, we go there almost every summer for our holiday there, and finally we went there right after our wedding (two weeks ago) for couple of days. For us Greece is peace, holiday mood, almost a home and one of the best cuisines ever… But Greece for us is also friendly environment full of emotions and close relationships between the people, it is invitation for a barbecue in a back yard, it is an easygoing mood, a way of living.

But since we are here to talk mainly about food, I have to say – it is a great food too! One of my most favorite Greek recipes is Midia Saganaki (Saganaki Mussels). But I can’t miss to mention also my favorite Tiro Salad, Grilled Octopus, Mido Pilafo (Mussels with rice), Fish Soup, Lavraki (Sea Bass), Spanakopita (Spinach pie) and many others. One of my favorite things in Greece are the little charming restaurants, ran by a whole Greek family – cozy places where you could taste traditional Greek food, longtime kept family recipes and, of course, a glass of Ouzo 🙂

If you have a favorite place in Greece, I will be happy to hear about it!

Hello, my dear friends :)I hope that you enjoy a lovely weekend and a great summer. I would like to ask you something – which is your dream summer holiday location? I have discovered mine – Sarti, Greece. It is on the Halkidiki peninsula on the second sleeve. We have been there two years in a row and I can’t imagine a better place… With its amazing blue flag beach, fresh breeze from the Sithonia forest and amazing fresh food – octopus, calamari, shrimps, mussels, salads, fishes – Sarti definitely is a special place to me 🙂
